“Happy Days are
Here Again” begins playing and everyone stops, wondering where
it’s coming from

DALEK
SEC: What is that sound?

The Doctor steps out,
a radio in his hands

DOCTOR:
That would be me. (sets
radio down) Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera.

DALEK
SEC: Doctor.

DALEK
#1: The enemy of the Daleks.

DALEK
#2: Exterminate.

DALEK
SEC: Wait.

DOCTOR: Well,
then. A new form of Dalek. (walks
forward) Fascinating and very clever.

DALEK
SEC: The Cult of Skaro escaped your
slaughter.

DOCTOR:
How did you end up in 1930?

DALEK
SEC: Emergency Temporal Shift.

DOCTOR: (scoffs) Oh, that must have roasted up your
power cells, yeah? (strides away,
looking about) Time was, four Daleks
could have conquered the world but instead your skulking away, hidden
in the dark, experimenting.(deep
breath) All of which results in you.

DALEK
SEC: I am Dalek in human form.

DOCTOR: What
does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec,
isn’t it? That’s your name? You’ve got a name and
a mind of your own. Tell me what you’re thinking right now.

DALEK SEC: I…feel…humanity.

DOCTOR: Good.
That’s good.

DALEK SEC: I…feel…everything
we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and
war. Such…a genius for war.

DOCTOR: No,
that’s not what humanity means.

DALEK SEC: I
think it does. At heart, this species is so very…Dalek.

DOCTOR: All
right, so what have you achieved hen? With this Final Experiment,
eh? Nothing! ‘Cause I can show you what you’re missing
with this thing. (points at radio) Simple little radio. (pats it)

DALEK #2: What
is the purpose of that device?

DOCTOR: Well,
exactly. It plays music. What’s the point of that? Oh, with
music, you can dance to it, sing with it, fall in love to it. Unless
you’re a Dalek of course. Then it’s just noise.

The Doctor aims the sonic screwdriver at the radio and a high
pitch wail emanates from it. Sec holds his head in pain while the
other Daleks act erratically. The Doctor turns to the prisoners.

DOCTOR: Run!

The prisoners escape and the Doctor follows them,

DALEK #1: Protect
the hybrid!

DALEKS: Protect.
Protect. Protect.

Martha leads the prisoners running through the sewers, the Doctor
last

DALEK #1: Report
status.

DALEK SEC: Pain.
Pain…of the flesh like no other Dalek has felt for thousands
of years.

DALEK #1: The
Doctor has escaped.

DALEK SEC: Then
find him. Find him.

DALEK #1: (to pig
slaves) Find the Doctor. The
prisoners must be recaptured.

Martha stops, unsure of which way to go. The Doctor rushes past

DOCTOR: Come
on! Move, move, move, move, move!

They run down a tunnel to find Tallulah

DOCTOR: And
you, Tallulah! Run!

TALLULAH: (bewildered)
What’s happened to Lazlo?

The pig slaves and two Daleks are following. Lazlo slips away.
The Doctor leads everyone to a ladder.

DOCTOR: C’mon!
Everyone up!

Dalek Sec picks up the remains of the radio and runs his hand
along the broken casing almost wistfully

The Daleks find the ladder

DALEK #1: They
have ascended. (to pig slaves)
Return to base.

The pig slaves leave and it turns to Dalek #2

DALEK #1: Request
information. What is your opinion of Dalek Sec?

DALEK #2: We
were created to follow him.

DALEK #1: But
you have…doubts.

Dalek #2 looks around as if to make sure they are alone

DALEK #2: Affirmative.

An overhead shot shows the party of prisoners returning to
Hooverville. They are then gathered around a fire, Martha and
Tallulah sitting on crates

SOLOMON: These
Daleks, they sound like the stuff of nightmares. And they wanna
breed?

SENTRY: It’s
the devil. A devil in the sky. God save us all. It’s
damnation.

FRANK: Oh
yeah? We’ll see about that!

Frank fires at the Dalek but the bullets do no damage. The
Doctor pushes his rifle down.

DOCTOR: That’s
not gonna work.

DALEK SEC: Establish
visual contact.

A screen appears showing the Dalek’s view of Hooverville

DALEK SEC: Commence
the attack.

MARTHA: There’s
more than one of them.

The Daleks begin to attack, firing upon the settlement causing
explosions and starting fires

DALEK #1: The
humans will surrender.

The Doctor appears on the screen

DOCTOR:
Leave them alone! They’ve done nothing to you!

DALEK #2: We
have located the Doctor!

Solomon steps forward and the Doctor grabs him by the arm

DOCTOR: No,
Solomon. Stay back.

SOLOMON: I’m
told that I’m addressin’ the Daleks, is that right?

DALEK SEC: Observe
humanity. For all their faults they have…such courage.

SOLOMON: From
what I hear, you’re outcasts, too.

DOCTOR: Solomon,
don’t.

SOLOMON: Doctor,
this is my township, you will respect my authority.

Sec is watching the exchange with interest

SOLOMON: Just
let me try.

Solomon pushes the Doctor away. The Doctor steps back, shaking
his head

SOLOMON: Daleks…ain’t
we all the same? Underneath, ain’t we all kin? (sets
rifle on the ground) ‘Cause,
see, I’ve just discovered this past day God’s universe is
a thousand times the size I thought it was. And that scares me. Oh,
yeah. Terrifies me. Right down to the bone. But it’s got to
give me hope…hope that maybe together we can make a better
tomorrow. So I…I beg you now if you have any compassion in
your hearts then you’ll meet with us and stop this fight.
Well…what do you say?

DALEK #2: Exterminate!

Dalek #2 fires upon Solomon, killing him

FRANK: Oh,
no!

The inhabitants of Hooverville scream

In the lab, Sec gasps at Solomon’s death and the other
Dalek looks at him

Frank rushes to Solomon’s side

FRANK: No!
Solomon!

MARTHA: They
killed him. They just shot him on the spot.

DOCTOR: (pissed
off) Daleks!

The Doctor moves forward, arms out to his side, and confronts the
Daleks

DOCTOR: All
right, so it’s my turn! Then kill me! Kill me if it’ll
stop you attacking these people!

DALEK #1: I
will be the destroyer of our greatest enemy.

DOCTOR: Then
do it! Do it! Just do it! (beats on his chest) Do
it!

DALEK #1: Extermin—

DALEK SEC: Stop!
I command you. Stop.

DALEK #1: I
do not understand. It is the Doctor.

DALEK SEC: But
I want him alive.

DALEK #1: The
urge to kill is too strong.

DALEK SEC: I
have decided the Doctor must live and you will obey me.

DALEK #1: I…obey.

DOCTOR: What’s
going on?

DALEK SEC: Bring
him to me.

DALEK #1: You
will follow.

MARTHA: No!
You can’t go!

DOCTOR: I’ve
got to go. The Daleks just changed their minds. Daleks never change their minds.

MARTHA: But
what about us?

The Doctor looks back at the people of Hooverville before facing
the Dalek

DOCTOR: One
condition! If I come with you, you spare the lives of everyone here!
Do you hear me?

DALEK SEC: Obey
the Doctor.

DALEK #1: The
humans will be spared. Doctor…follow.

MARTHA: Then
I’m coming with you.

DOCTOR: Martha,
stay here. Do what you do best. People are hurt. You can help
them. Let me go.

Martha looks at the Doctor as he looks at the Daleks before
striding off to follow them. Martha looks hurt and alone. The
Doctor pauses and looks back

DOCTOR: Oh,
and can I just say, thank you very much.

The Doctor grips her hand with both of his and winks. As he
walks off, Martha sees he has given her the psychic paper

DALEK #3: You
saved the Doctor. Why?

DALEK SEC: He’s…a
genius and we can use him. The future of the Daleks might well
depend on the Doctor.

Martha is applying a bandage to a man’s arm when Tallulah
walks in with a pot of water

TALLULAH: Here
you go. I got some more on the boil.

MARTHA: Thanks.
(to man) You’ll
be all right. It’s just a cut. Try and keep it clean.

MAN: Thanks.

The man leaves and Tallulah leans against the wall

TALLULAH: So
what about us? What do we do now?

MARTHA: The
Doctor gave me this. He must have had a reason.

Martha pulls out the psychic paper and shows Tallulah

TALLULAH: What’s
that for?

MARTHA: Gets
you into places, buildings and things. But where? He must want me
to go somewhere but what am I supposed to do?

The Doctor arrives in the Dalek lab and immediately starts in on
Dalek Sec

DOCTOR: Those
people were defenceless! You only wanted me, but no, that wasn’t
enough for you! You had to start killing ‘cause that’s
the only thing a Dalek’s good for!

DALEK SEC: The
deaths…were wrong.

DOCTOR: I’m
sorry?

DALEK SEC: That
man, their leader Solomon, he showed courage.

DOCTOR: And
that’s good?

DALEK SEC: That’s
excellent.

DOCTOR: Is
it me or are you just becoming a little bit more human?

DALEK SEC: You
are the last of your kind and now I am the first of mine.

DOCTOR: What
do you want me for?

DALEK SEC: We
tried everything to survive when we found ourselves stranded in this
ignorant age. First we tried growing new Dalek embryos but their
flesh was too weak.

DOCTOR: Yeah,
I found one of your experiments. Just left to die out there in the
dark.

DALEK SEC:
It forced us to conclude what is the greatest resource of this
planet—its people.

Dalek Sec lifts a giant switch on the wall and the ceiling above
them lights up to show hundreds of human bodies lying suspended.
Dalek Sec lifts another switch and one of the bodies is lowered. We
see it is shrouded.

MARTHA: That
Mr. Diagoras, he was like some sort of fixer, yeah? Get you jobs all
over town?

FRANK: Yeah.
He could find a profit anywhere.

MARTHA: But
where, though? What sort of things?

FRANK:
You name it. We’re all so desperate for work, you just hoped
Diagoras would pick you for something good. Building work. That
pays the best.

MARTHA: But
what sort of building work?

FRANK: Mainly
building that.

Frank points to the Empire State Building

Dalek Sec is showing the Doctor an animated graphic of their
plan

DOCTOR: Yeah,
yeah, yeah. The Empire State Building. We’re right underneath
that. I worked that out already, thanks. But what, you hijacked the
whole building?

DALEK SEC: We
needed an energy conductor.

DOCTOR: What
for?

DALEK SEC: I…am
the genetic template. My altered DNA was to be administered to each
human body. A strong enough blast of gamma radiation can splice the
Dalek and human genetic codes and wake each body from its sleep.

DOCTOR: Gamma
radiation? What are-- Oh, the sun. You’re using the sun.

DALEK SEC: Soon…the
greatest solar flare for a thousand years will hit the Earth. Gamma
radiation will be drawn to the energy conductor and when it strikes—

DOCTOR: Removing
the emotions makes you stronger. That’s what your creator
thought all those years ago.

DALEK SEC: He
was wrong.

DOCTOR:
He was what?

DALEK SEC: It
makes us lesser than our enemies. We must return to the flesh.

The other Daleks seem concerned at this statement

DALEK SEC: And
also…the heart.

DOCTOR: You
wouldn’t be the supreme beings anymore.

DALEK SEC: And
that is good.

DALEK #1: That
is incorrect.

DALEK #2: Daleks
are supreme.

DALEK SEC: No,
not anymore.

DALEK #2: But
that is our purpose.

DALEK SEC: Then
our purpose is wrong! Where has our quest for supremacy led us? To
this. Hiding in the sewers on a primitive world. Just four of us
left. If we do not change now then we deserve extinction.

DOCTOR: So
you want to change everything that makes a Dalek a Dalek.

DALEK SEC: If…you
can help me.

Martha, Tallulah and Frank are in a service lift of the Empire
State Building

MARTHA: I
always wanted to go to the Empire State. Never imagined it quite
like this, though.

FRANK: Where
are we headed anyway?

MARTHA: To
the top where they’re still building.

TALLULAH: How
come those guys just let us through? How’s that thing work?

MARTHA: Psychic
paper. Shows them whatever I want them to think. According to this,
we’re two engineers and an architect.

Frank takes the psychic paper and flips the empty paper over in
his hands

DALEK SEC: Your
knowledge of genetic engineering is even greater than ours. The new
race must be ready by the time the solar flare erupts.

DOCTOR: But
you’re the template. I thought they were getting a dose of
you.

DALEK SEC: I
want to change the gene sequence.

DOCTOR: To
make them even more human?

DALEK SEC: Humans
are the great survivors. We need that ability.

DOCTOR: Hold
on a minute. There’s no way this lot are gonna let you do it.

DALEK SEC: I
am their leader.

DOCTOR: (turns to
other Daleks) Oh, and that’s
enough for you, is it?

DALEK #2: Daleks
must follow orders.

DALEK #1: Dalek
Sec commands, we obey.

DALEK SEC: If
you don’t help me…nothing will change.

DOCTOR: There’s
no room on Earth for another race of people.

DALEK SEC: You
have your TARDIS. Take us across the stars. Find us a new home and
allow the new Daleks to start again.

DOCTOR: When’s
that solar flare?

DALEK SEC: Eleven
minutes.

DOCTOR: Right
then. Better get to work.

Frank, Martha and Tallulah enter the top floor, the room that
Diagoras had been using as an office

TALLULAH: Look
at this pace. Top of the world.

Martha spots the architectural plans

MARTHA: Okay,
now this looks good.

Frank joins her

FRANK: Hey,
look at the date. These designs were issued today. They must’ve
changed something last minute.

MARTHA: You
mean the Daleks changed something?

FRANK: Yeah,
could be.

MARTHA: The
ones underneath, they’re from before. That means that whatever
they changed must be on this top sheet but not this one. We need to
check one against the other.

TALLULAH: The
height of this place! This is amazing!

MARTHA: Careful,
we’re a hundred floors up. Don’t go wandering off.

TALLULAH: I
just wanna see.

Tallulah walks to the open area overlooking the city

TALLULAH: New
York City. If aliens had to come to Earth, no wonder they came here.

In the lab, the Doctor is checking the equipment and readouts

DOCTOR:
There’s no point in chromosomal grafting. It’s too
erratic. You need to split the genome and force the Dalek-human
sequence right into the cortex.

DALEK SEC: We
need more chromatin solution.

DALEK #1: The
pig slaves have it.

The pig slaves walk into the room carrying a large crate. Lazlo
is one of them

DOCTOR: These
pig slaves, what happens to them in the grand plan?

DALEK SEC: Nothing.
They’re just simple beasts. Their lifespan is limited. None
survive beyond a few weeks. Power up the engine feeds.

The Doctor spots Lazlo and walks over

DOCTOR: Lazlo,
I can’t undo what they’ve done to you, but they won’t
do it to anyone else.

LAZLO: Do
you trust him?

DOCTOR: I
know that one man can change the course of history.

One of the Daleks spots them talking

DOCTOR: Right
idea in the right place at the right time is all it takes. I’ve
got to believe it’s possible.

Martha has the plans spread out on the floor and is kneeling,
studying them. Frank and Tallulah are standing nearby

TALLULAH: You
could be doctors together. (gasps) What
a partnership. Oh, it’s such a shame. If only he wasn’t
so…different. You know what I mean?

MARTHA: Oh,
you have no idea how different he really is.

TALLULAH: Yeah,
he’s a man, sweetheart. That’s different enough.

MARTHA: He
had this…companion a while back. This friend. And ever since
then he’s been on his own. But you know, sometimes I say
something or do something and he looks at me, and I just sort of
think…that he’s not seeing me. He’s just
remembering.

TALLULAH: Aw,
listen sweetheart. You wanna get all sad? You wanna have a contest
with me and Lazlo?

MARTHA: No.
But listen, if the Doctor’s with Lazlo now, there’s
every chance that he could get him out.

TALLULAH: And
then what? Don’t talk crazy. There’s no future for me
and him. Those Dalek things took that away. The one good thing I
had in my life and they destroyed it.

Tallulah stands and walks back to the open area

DALEK #1: The
line feeds are ready.

The Doctor rushes up to a bunch of tubes and extracts the
solution inside with a syringe

DOCTOR: Then
it’s all systems go.

DALEK SEC: The
solar flare is imminent. The radiation…will reach Earth in a
matter of minutes.

DOCTOR: We’ll
be ready for it.

The Doctor inserts the syringe into one of the main feeding tubes
and injects the solution

DOCTOR: That
compound will allow the gene bonds to reconfigure in a brand new
pattern. Power up!

One of the pig slaves turns on a power switch as does Lazlo

DALEK SEC: Start…the
line feeds.

One of the Daleks starts the machinery and we see the solution
start moving through the tubes

The Doctor climbs higher up the scaffolding, hanging on as high
winds and rain blow around him. He reaches the base of the mast,
takes out his sonic screwdriver and uses it on the bolts holding the
Dalekanium in place

The lift arrives at the lab

DALEK #2: Pig
slaves will take the lift. Find the Doctor. Kill him.

The pig slaves enter the lift

Martha, Lazlo, Frank and Tallulah have picked up makeshift
weapons and are facing the lift

MARTHA: So
did you. Just about. I can’t help noticing….there’s
Dalekanium still attached.

The Doctor gets up

The human Daleks march through the sewers

DALEK #2: War
demands strategy. I am designated controller.

DALEK SEC: That
was to be my position.

DALEK #1: You
are unfit.

DALEK #2: Connect
me to the military computer. I will coordinate all units.

DOCTOR: The
Daleks will have gone straight to a war footing. They’ll be
using the sewers, spreading their soldiers out underneath Manhattan.

LAZLO: How
do we stop them?

DOCTOR: There’s
only one chance. I got in the way. That gamma strike went zapping
though me first.

MARTHA: But
what does that mean?

DOCTOR: We
need to draw fire. Before they can attack New York, I need to face
them. Think, think, think, think. We need some sort of space,
somewhere safe, somewhere out of the way. Tallulah!

TALLULAH: That’s
me. Three Ls and an H.

DOCTOR: The
theatre! It’s right above them, and, what, it’s gone
midnight? Can you get us inside?

TALLULAH: Don’t
see why not.

DOCTOR: Is
there another lift?

MARTHA: We
came up in the service elevator.

DOCTOR: That’ll
do. Allons-y!

Dalek #2 is hooked up to the battle computer, wires connected to
its casing

DALEK #1: Report
status.

DALEK #2: Maximum
efficiency. I am now ready for full-scale war.

DALEK #1: Control
over Dalek-humans?

DALEK #2: Connection
confirmed. All soldiers will take heed.

In the sewers, the Dalek-humans stand to attention

DALEK #2: All
weapons will be primed.

All the soldiers prime their weapons

The Doctor, Martha, Frank, Tallulah and Lazlo arrive at the
darkened theatre.

DOCTOR: This
should do it. Here we go.

The Doctor switches on the sonic screwdriver

TALLULAH: There
ain’t nothin’ more creepy than a theatre in the dark.
Listen, Doctor, I know you got a thing for showtunes, but there’s
a time and place, hunh?

Lazlo falls into one of the chairs beside her

TALLULAH: Lazlo,
what’s wrong?

She sits next to him

LAZLO: Nothing.
It’s just so hot.

TALLULAH: But…it’s
freezing in here. Doctor, what’s happening to him?

The Doctor is listening to the sonic screwdriver, checking its
frequency

DOCTOR: Not
now, Tallulah. Sorry.

MARTHA: What
are you doing?

DOCTOR: If
the Daleks are going to war, they’ll wanna find their number
one enemy. I’m just telling them where I am.

The Doctor holds up the sonic screwdriver and turns it on.

DALEK #2: Sonic
device detected!

DALEK #1: The
Doctor survived.

DALEK #3: Find
him and exterminate!

DOCTOR: I’m
telling you to go. Frank can take you back to Hooverville.

MARTHA: And
I’m telling you I’m not going.

DOCTOR: Martha,
that’s an order.

MARTHA: Who
are you, then? Some sort of Dalek?

The doors to the theatre burst open and the human Daleks arrive,
flanking them

TALLULAH: Oh,
my God! Well I guess that’s them then, hunh?

MARTHA: Humans…with
Dalek DNA.

Frank moves to attack them but the Doctor pulls him back

DOCTOR: It’s
all right. Just stay calm. Don’t antagonize them.

LAZLO: But
what about the Dalek masters? Where are they?

DALEK #2: Doctor
located. Advance. Advance.

There is an explosion on stage and the Doctor and the others duck
behind the seats for cover. The Doctor peers over the seats, and, as
the smoke clears, we see Daleks #1 and #3 with Dalek Sec chained and
walking on all fours. The Doctor stands slowly and the others peek
over the chairs.

DALEK #1: The
Doctor will stand before the Daleks.

The Doctor steps over a chair and walks forward on the backs of
the rows until he reaches the front row.

DALEK #1:
You will die, Doctor. It is the beginning of a new age.

DALEK #3: Planet
Earth will become New Skaro.

DOCTOR: Oh,
and what a world. With anything just the slightest bit different
ground into the dirt. That’s Dalek Sec. Don’t you
remember? The cleverest Dalek ever and look what you’ve done
to him. Is that your new empire? Hmm? Is that the foundation for a
whole new civilization?

DALEK SEC: My
Daleks…just understand this. If you choose death and
destruction, then death and destruction will choose you.

DALEK #1:
Incorrect. We will always survive.

DALEK #3: Now
we will destroy our greatest enemy, the Doctor.

DALEK SEC: But
he can help you.

DALEK #1: The
Doctor must die.

DALEK SEC: No,
I beg you, don’t.

Dalek Sec crawls in front of Dalek #1

DALEK #3: Exterminate!

Dalek Sec stands just as Dalek #1 fires. He dies instantly

DOCTOR: (disgusted) Your own leader. The only creature who might have led you out of
the darkness and you destroyed him. (turns to human Daleks) Do you see what they did? Huh?
You see what a Dalek really is?

DALEK #2: Warning.
Dalek-Humans show increased levels of seratonin.

DOCTOR: If
I’m gonna die, let’s give the new boys a shot. What do
you think, eh? The Dalek-Humans. Their first blood. Go on, baptize
them.

The Doctor holds his arms out to his sides

DALEK #1: Dalek-Humans,
take aim.

The Dalek-Humans cock their weapons and aim them at the Doctor

DOCTOR: What
are you waiting for? Give the command!

DALEK #3: Exterminate!

The Doctor closes his eyes and Martha ducks her head against
Frank’s chest. Nothing happens

DALEK #3: Exterminate!

Still nothing happens

DALEK #1: Obey.
Dalek-Humans will obey.

MARTHA: Not
firing. (to Doctor) What
have you done?

DALEK #3: You
will obey. Exterminate.

FOREMAN: Why?

The Doctor looks at the former foreman

DALEK #1: Daleks
do not question orders.

FOREMAN: But
why?

DALEK #1: You
will stop this.

FOREMAN: But…why?

DALEK #1: You
must not question.

FOREMAN: But
you are not our master. And we…we are not Daleks.

DOCTOR: No,
you’re not, and you never will be. (to Daleks) Sorry, I got in the way of the lightening strike. Time Lord DNA got
all mixed up. Just that little bit of freedom.

DALEK #3: If
they will not obey, then they must die.

Dalek #3 shoots the foreman

DOCTOR: Get
down!

They all duck behind the seats and both factions fire on each
other

DALEKS: Exterminate!
Exterminate!

DALEK #2: Destroy
the hybrids. Destroy.

DALEKS: Exterminate!

Dalek #3 is blown up

DALEK #1: Extermin—

Dalek #1 is blown up

The human Daleks stop firing. Frank, Martha, Tallulah and Lazlo
stand. The Doctor goes over to one of the hybrids

DOCTOR: It’s
all right. It’s all right. It’s all right. You did it.
You’re free.

DOCTOR: (walks
forward) Dalek Caan. Your
entire species has been wiped out. And now the Cult of Skaro has
been eradicated. Leaving only you. Right now you’re facing
the only man in the universe who might show you some compassion.
‘Cause I’ve just seen one genocide. I won’t cause
another. Caan…let me help you. What do you say?

DALEK CAAN: Emergency
Temporal Shift!

Dalek Caan disappears leaving wires hanging and a very angry
Doctor who charges too late. Martha and Tallulah enter helping to
support Lazlo.

MARTHA: Doctor!
Doctor! He’s sick.

Lazlo is breathing heavily, wheezing. They lower him to the
floor, Tallulah cradling him on her lap.

MARTHA: It’s
okay. You’re all right.

The Doctor approaches them and kneels

MARTHA: It’s
his heart. It’s racing like mad. I’ve never seen
anything like it.

TALLULAH: What
is it, Doctor? What’s the matter with him? He says he can’t
breathe? What is it?

LAZLO:
It’s time, sweetheart.

TALLULAH: What
do you mean “time”? What are you talking about?

LAZLO: None
of the slaves …survive for long. Most of them only live a few
weeks. I was lucky. I held on ‘cause I had you. But now…I’m
dyin’, Tallulah.

TALLULAH: No
you’re not. Not now, after all this. Doctor, can’t you
do somethin’?

DOCTOR: Oh,
Tallulah with three Ls and an H…just you watch me.

The Doctor stands and takes off his coat

DOCTOR: What
do I need? Oh, I don’t know. How about a great big genetic
laboratory? Oh look, I’ve got one. Lazlo, just you hold on.

The Doctor runs about the lab, mixing up a solution, talking all
the while

DOCTOR: There’s
been too many deaths today. Way too many people have died. Brand
new creatures and wise old men and age-old enemies. And I’m
tellin’ you, I’m tellin’ you right now, I am not
having one more death! Got that? Not one! Tallulah, out of the
way.

The Doctor takes a stethoscope out of his pock and puts it on

DOCTOR: The
Doctor is in.

An arial shot of Central Park. The Doctor, Martha, Tallulah, and
Lazlo—bundled in an overcoat and hat—are waiting by a
park bench. Frank joins them.

FRANK: Well
I talked to ‘em and I told ‘em what Solomon would’ve
said and I reckon I shamed one or two of ‘em.

DOCTOR: What
did they say?

FRANK: They
said yes.

Tallulah hugs Lazlo

FRANK: They’ll
give you a home, Lazlo. I mean, uh, don’t imagine people ain’t
gonna stare. I can’t promise you’ll be at peace but, in
the end, that is what Hooverville is for, people who ain’t got
nowhere else.

LAZLO: Thank
you. I—I can’t thank you enough.

Back on Liberty Island, Martha and the Doctor are looking out at
the Manhattan skyline

MARTHA: Do
you reckon it’s gonna work, those two?

DOCTOR: I
don’t know. Anywhere else in the universe, I might worry about
them, but New York, that’s what this city’s good at.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and maybe the odd
pig-slave-Dalek-mutant-hybrid too.

MARTHA: (laughs)The pig and the showgirl.

DOCTOR: (smiles) The pig and the showgirl.

MARTHA: Just
proves it, I suppose. There’s someone for everyone.

The Doctor’s smile disappears

DOCTOR: Maybe.

The Doctor walks to the TARDIS and Martha follows

MARTHA:(sighs) Meant to
say…sorry.

DOCTOR: What
for?

MARTHA: Just
‘cause that Dalek got away. I know what that means to you.
Think you’ll ever see it again?

The Doctor unlocks the TARDIS

DOCTOR:
Oh yes.

Martha enter and the Doctor pauses in the doorway

DOCTOR: One
day.

The Doctor goes inside and closes the door
